Did week 2 today: not as sore, but that was a Frickin insane workout! I was thinking about giving up when I started throwing down the lunges, but I stuck with it (of course, right?) and it turned out to be great! Bravo!

Hi my name is Jeremy, known as jonesjk80. The leg workout that you have posted, sounds like it is really intense. I've ben on vacation for 2 weeks, as soon as i get back in to routine, thats the workout I want to do for my legs, I need to improve that area the most.

I have read in the past that leg extensions are useless except for people needing rehab to the knee area. Any truth to it? Also, if I do regular deadlifts on leg day can I do stiff-leg deadlifts on back day?

I avoid leg extensions because they make your lower quads balloon out.
So they must be good if you like that.

Holy ****, so I just got back from doing Week 2 which is Quad week and while doing the 5 sets of triset squats, lunges, then leg extensions I felt like I wasn't even myself, I was so winded and I felt like I was going to barf because I probably ate too soon, this is what those 5 sets looked like:
1.Squat: 315x10
Lunges: 60x6
LE: 135X12
2. Squat: 315x8
Lunges: 60x6
LE: 135X12
3. Squat: 275x10
Lunges: 60x6
LE: 115X12
4. Squat: 275x10
Lunges: 52.5x6
LE: 115X12
5. Squat: 275x10
Lunges: 52.5x6
LE: 115X12

I recommend everybody do this routine! I measured after 3 weeks and gained almost a whole inch! I will warn you though, this routine separates the boys from the men. During the workout you will feel the following...
Wanting to puke
Constant rapid heart beating
Feeling like you are going to pass out
So much blood in your legs that there won't be enough in your brain to think properly!
